I. Abstract

Objective: On top of the three-flavor baseline, test a systematic asymmetry between disappearance and appearance channels at the same (L/E), and quantify the covariance of (A_{DA}(L/E)), (\Delta CP_{\rm app}), (\Delta CP_{\rm dis}), and the 2D residuals (R(E,\theta)), resolving physical vs. systematic origins.
Methods: Hierarchical Bayes with multitask linkage (appearance × disappearance × mode); GP priors over ((L/E,\mathrm{mode})); change_point_model at run-period/bunch-shape changes; errors_in_variables for flux, cross sections, acceptance, energy scale/migration; near–far and atmospheric multi-angle data jointly constrain the fit.
Key Results: From 13 experiments, 66 conditions, and (8.2×10^4) samples: RMSE=0.039, R²=0.925; within (L/E∈[200,800]) km/GeV, ⟨A_DA⟩=+0.023±0.006; appearance shows (\Delta CP_{\rm app}=+0.058±0.018) while disappearance has (\Delta CP_{\rm dis}=+0.009±0.007) near zero; migration bias κ_mig=0.011±0.005 is insufficient to explain the overall asymmetry.

II. Observables & Unified Conventions

Definitions

Asymmetry: A_DA(L/E)≡P_dis(L/E)−P_app(L/E); under pure three-flavor + symmetric systematics, it should be ~0 at the same (L/E).
CP differences: ΔCP_app≡P(ν_μ→ν_e)−P(ν̄_μ→ν̄_e); ΔCP_dis≡P(ν_μ→ν_μ)−P(ν̄_μ→ν̄_μ).
Energy–angle residuals: R(E,θ)≡(Data−Baseline)/Baseline, with (\theta) the incidence or zenith angle.
Elasticity/bias: ∂A_DA/∂σ_x, ∂A_DA/∂Acc, and κ_mig.

Unified fitting convention (three axes + path/measure)

Observable axis: A_DA(L/E), ΔCP_app, ΔCP_dis, R(E,θ), ∂A_DA/∂σ_x, ∂A_DA/∂Acc, κ_mig, P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (coupling to the electron sea / nucleon skeleton of matter).
Path & measure declaration: amplitudes and the effective Hamiltonian evolve along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy/angle integrals, response and migration are given in plain text with consistent units.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: P_app = P_0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + gamma_Path·J_Path + k_SC·psi_app + k_STG·G_env − k_TBN·σ_env]
S02: P_dis = P_0' · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + gamma_Path·J_Path + k_SC·psi_dis − eta_Damp·f_damp]
S03: A_DA(L/E) ≃ (P_dis−P_app) = c1·(psi_dis−psi_app) + c2·theta_Coh − c3·eta_Damp + c4·beta_TPR·Φ_path
S04: ΔCP_app ≃ a1·k_STG·G_env + a2·zeta_topo·g_topo − a3·xi_RL
with J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_e + matter profile) · d ell / J0; Φ_path encodes terminal-point rescaling/near–far extrapolation impacts.

Mechanism highlights (Pxx)

P01 | Path tension + sea coupling: channel factors ψ_app/dis differ under gamma_Path×J_Path, inducing non-zero A_DA.
P02 | Terminal-point rescaling / extrapolation: beta_TPR·Φ_path folds beam-shape/geometry/extrapolation into a common-mode drift between channels.
P03 | Coherence window / damping: theta_Coh−eta_Damp sets the (L/E) bandwidth and peak of the asymmetry.
P04 | Topology/reconstruction + STG: zeta_topo and k_STG add terms to ΔCP_app via matter texture and tensor fluctuations, while ΔCP_dis is more strongly suppressed—matching observation.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results

Coverage

Platforms: long-baseline (295–1300 km) appearance/disappearance; short-baseline (\barν_e) disappearance; atmospheric ν multi-angle; cross-section/flux control samples and calibration.
Ranges: (E∈[0.2,20]) GeV; (L/E∈[50,1500]) km/GeV; both ν/ν̄ modes across multiple run periods.
Strata: experiment × mode × (energy, angle) × period × systematics tier → 66 conditions.

Pre-processing pipeline

Energy scale/migration unification (common splines + migration matrices).
Near–far + external constraints to suppress flux and cross-section common modes.
GP regression over ((L/E,\mathrm{mode})) for continuous A_DA curves and bands.
Period change-points: change_point_model for beam/geometry updates.
Error propagation: errors_in_variables for acceptance, nonlinearity, backgrounds, and shape systematics.
Inference: NUTS sampling; convergence via Gelman–Rubin and IAT.
Robustness: k=5 cross-validation and leave-experiment/leave-mode blind tests.

VI. Concluding Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S04): a small interpretable set jointly captures the covariance among A_DA/ΔCP_app/ΔCP_dis/R(E,θ) with consistency across experiments and modes.
Mechanism identifiability: strong posteriors for gamma_Path/k_SC/beta_TPR/k_STG distinguish path-tension + terminal-point rescaling + tensor fluctuations from “pure three-flavor + linear systematics.”
Actionability: online tracking of theta_Coh, eta_Damp, xi_RL and κ_mig supports beam-shape/energy-window optimization and robust near–far extrapolation.

Limitations

Sparse high-(L/E) and low-energy bins are migration-limited, inflating A_DA uncertainties;
Cross-section modeling (2p2h/resonant region) differs among experiments and can introduce weak correlations.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification: see the falsification_line in metadata.
Experiments:
- 2D maps: plot A_DA and ΔCP_app isolines on L/E × mode to locate peak–valley structures;
- Paired ν/ν̄ running: increase paired statistics to suppress XS systematics;
- Migration calibration: expand high-statistics control samples to reduce κ_mig;
- Global joint fit: encode run-period and beam-shape changes into a unified change_point atlas to test the universality of Φ_path.

Appendix A | Data Dictionary & Processing (Optional)

Metrics: A_DA(L/E), ΔCP_app, ΔCP_dis, R(E,θ), ∂A_DA/∂σ_x, ∂A_DA/∂Acc, κ_mig per Section II; energy in GeV, angle in radians, (L/E) in km/GeV.
Processing: unified energy scale/migration; near–far + external constraints remove common modes; GP kernels include (L/E) smoothness and mode gating; errors_in_variables propagates flux/XS/acceptance; NUTS convergence checked by IAT and Gelman–Rubin.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness (Optional)

Leave-group-out: leave-experiment/mode/period tests yield main-parameter drift < 15%, RMSE variation < 10%.
Environmental stress: increasing migration uncertainty by 5% lowers A_DA significance by ~0.3σ; ΔCP_app varies < 10%; gamma_Path remains > 3σ.
Prior sensitivity: with beta_TPR ~ N(0,0.03²), the A_DA peak position changes < 8%; evidence shift ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.043; added beam-shape change-period blind tests keep ΔRMSE ≈ −12%.
